SEMD Fleet Tender

Description

Procurement of fleet assets and related maintenance services to support Yorkshire Water's Alternative Water Supply (AWS) obligations under SEMD. The scope includes 7 rigid HGV chassis for potable tanker builds, 7 potable tanker bodies (19,000 L), 3 truck-mounted forklifts (TMFs), 1 tractor unit, and 3 curtainsider trailers, along with ongoing repair and maintenance. Suppliers are invited to bid for one or more lots. Yorkshire Water seeks to secure specialist fleet assets with long lead times (12-24 months) to ensure AWS readiness by 2026. Bundled procurement strategies are expected to deliver 20-25% efficiencies compared with sourcing individual components. The contract will include flexibility clauses to address lead-time risks and regulatory changes.
